# iPhone

iPhone (also known as iMonster) is a series of malicious cellphones produced by the evil Apple. It babysits iToddler with some shitty [Yoootoob](youtube.md) video such as "candy Hitler VS Pinkie Pie fight finger family" which replaces iParents. iPhone was first announced by Steve Jobs in January 2007, released in June 2007 and since then has made a lot of harm to this world and society. It comes with an operating system called iOS which is one of the least freedom respecting OS available. 

A typical modern iPhone will have a gigantic screen with ugly blob on top of the screen, the phone charges with ugly proprietary lightning cable (though iPhones will switch to USB-C charging in the future), it has no headphone jack, no slot for a memory card, no sim-card slot, non-removable battery, three freaking cameras on its back and a face2emoji scanner on the front. It seems like Apple is running out of ideas for iPhone since they made Dynamic Island xD.

The operating system that comes preinstalled on iPhones is iOS, it is proprietary and doesn't even give you the "freedoms" that some other proprietary OS's give you. You can't install an app unless it comes from Apple's App Store, you have no access to root filesystem, it can't play ogg and webm file, it is bloated as fuck. Some components of iOS is "open source" such as XNU kernel (X's Not Unix), literally a shitty attempt at imitating the name of GNU. Anyway, that does not make iOS more freedom respecting and more justifiable to use, despite it having some "open soars" code and that everyone is using it. 

OMG How can normies use iPhone LMAO that's insane! When the first iPhone was released, people quickly realized that they didn't have administrative access to the phone, nowaday, retards don't even think about that. They only see magic, apps and propaganda. My god, this world could literally end soon, people will forget what freedom was like. 
{I used to be a slave to two iPhones, iPhone 4s and iPhone 7. Eventually, I couldn't stand living with iPhone 7 anymore and had to break free. It feels very good! Right now, I have a Galaxy S3 that runs Replicant, I treat it like a portable computer, I don't have a sim-card in it xD   ~dolphinana}



Foxconn is a manufacturer in [China](china.md) who manufactures iPhones. In November 2022, a lot of slaves escaped the Foxconn factory named "iPhone city" causing controversies and protests. It had something to do with covid zero policy. This decreased the amount of new iPhones produced. The less iPhones we have, the better.



## Freedom on iPhone

Running free software on iPhone is almost impossible due to the walled gardens of iOS. Normally, you can only install applications if the big Apple approves of it. However, thanks to hackers, it's possible to have more "freedom" on iPhone than what Apple intended. With jailbreaking, you can install some programs onto iPhone such as emulators and tweaks, programs that Apple would've never let you install and you get the possibility to modify the root filesystem of iOS.
As of December 2022, the latest version of iOS that can be jailbreaked is iOS 15, the jailbreak is called palera1n, though the jailbreak is tethered, meaning that you'd have to boot the iDevice connected to computer, otherwise, the iDevice won't boot at all. iOS 16 has been released few months ago and it is currently unjailbreakable.
Also, jailbreak exploits are exploiting the vulnerability of the the hardware and bloated software to modify the root filesystem, which is bloat. But worst of all, when you run jailbreaked iOS, you'll still be running a proprietary operating system which is not good for your freedom. Luckily, [Linux kernel](linux.md) on iPhone is a possibility and could be a big freedom increase over using jailbreaked iOS. The problem is that it is very, VERY HARD to run Linux kernel on iPhone, but it is possible. Linux kernel had already been proven to run on the first generation iPhone only a year after the release. The project is called iDroid Project which aims to get Android to run on iPhone with the help of [OpeniBoot](openiboot.md), which boots unsigned code, unlike the shitty proprietary iBoot that only boots code that the evil Steve Jobs would approve of. 

There is a [bootrom](bootrom.md) exploit called checkm8 which can exploit all iPhones from 4S all the way up to X. It is used to run unsigned code. Since it is a bootrom exploit, it's **impossible** to develop a software patch for it, meaning that Apple cannot release a software update that "fixes" this bug. This is great maaaan. 

In [insert a year here], some hackers made Project Sandcastle which aims get Linux kernel to run on iPhone 7 and some other "modern" iPhones and ran Android on it.

In 2021, a sixteen year old teenager got Ubuntu GNU/Linux with GUI running on an iPhone 7 with dead NAND and managed to browse the web on it. He used checkra1n (proprietary) to boot Linux.
